Mini Potato Galettes
With all the craziness in the world right now, comforting potato with cheese is the answer. We don't care what the question is. Gluten free goodness.
Oh yes, if this is vegetarian fare, then count me in…naughty but nice, totally the best side dish around, hot or cold. You could make this recipe as one big potato gratin, but somehow the individual nature of these mini galettes makes your portion control a bit better! (Well, in theory.)
And by all means call them galettes. They just sound so elegant don't they? Carb on people, we're in a pandemic! Carbs are totally allowed.
